"(Let me get this straight. When you meant your life will be mine if I win, and mine will be yours if you win…

You mean the marriage way or the killing way?)" I asked her as I remembered the whole strength makes right thing…

For a second she was confused before giggling.

"Of course marriage. Why would I kill someone who can build things like that?" She asked with a confused look.

This was a conversation between two people from different periods and professions altogether.

"(Sigh)"

My energy wings glowed and with a sonic boom, I disappeared from her sight.

Hippolyta looked around quickly and there was a borderline crazed look on her face. Reminding me of those people who liked to fight.

Pity that I don't do 'fights'… 

I appeared behind her and with Phobos in hand, I pressed the trigger, a bolt of lightning slammed into her from behind.

"Heh...I-I-I lost…very well… I a-a-accept this...fate…" she collapsed onto the ground.

'Silly woman… I didn't accept your deal… I have no interest in marrying… I am not even 30 yet…' I shook my head as I looked around. 

Thinking of it for a bit… I decided that, yes… I can take some samples from these ladies….

Walking over to Hippolyta I recalled my rifle and pulled out a combat knife and cut several strands of her hair.

Then I walked towards where Atalanta was with Artemis.

The first one I noticed was Atalanta. She was knocked out and had a frustrated look on her face. Her hair was the most unique hair I have seen so far. Natural green and blond is quite rare for regular people. Well, it should be but since I was in an anime-like world… 

Walking closer for a bit I removed my glove and wanted to do what no one should have ever done in history… and that is pat her head and stroke those ears…

"(Heh… even though it looks rough your hair is quite soft,)" I said softly, enjoying the hair.

Sound of purring cat

My eyes widened and in the next second, I had a very evil look on my face.

"(Aurora, why don't you record this purring for me.)" 

[As you wish]

I saw the notification, brushing it aside mentally. I continued to stroke her hair and of course record the purring.

How many other people have achieved this? Making the Chaste Huntress purr? Heh. This was probably one of my greatest achievements! To date!

After enjoying the stroking I gently cut some of her hair before leaving her be.

And last but not the least… the Moon Goddess herself…

"(Hoh?)" I looked forward and saw her slowly getting up.

"Y-You… you won't be getting away with this!" She said while trying to get a hold of herself.

"Attacking one of the Olympians like this!" She exclaimed as she finally stood up properly. There was some sweat going down her forehead.

"(Truly? I do wonder what your fellow gods would think of the Moon Goddess herself. One of twelve Olympians losing against a mere sixteen-year-old human teenager!)" I said while animatedly shaking my head. My hands were crossed.

"You… must be joking!" She asked with wide eyes. Her blue eyes were in complete disbelief.

And now that I can finally see how she looks. I can confidently say yes, Artemis is very, very, beautiful. Silver nearly glowing hair done in a simple ponytail, held together with a strap of leather.

"(Why would I joke with you? I don't have a reason to do so.)" I said to the Goddess while walking forward towards her.

By this point, she already realised that she can't use her magic nor can she use her bow. And most importantly she has received a blow from an ultimate class level kick while she had no empowerment. I am impressed that she could tank such a strike.

"Lies… it has to be lies! No human can achieve this without some sort of help from a deity!" The Goddess was in denial.

I frowned for a moment after hearing that… 

This was getting annoying. I understand… oh I know!

My hand moved towards my helmet, Aurora read my intentions and disconnected the helmet. Moments later, Artemis could now see my face.

I saw her face with my own eyes. Just like she did with her's.

"Fuu… this is cold," I said while looking around. I could feel the icy temperature on my skin now.

"You… You are a teenage human male! No-no, way!" The Goddess of Hunt said while shaking her head in disbelief.

"Indeed. Now, I know gods can tell when humans are lying right? Do tell. Can you do that? Or do you need my help with that?" I asked with a smug look since she unfortunately has no power over her Divine energy.

"You…YOU! No human male dares to speak to me like this!" She said while her shoulders started to shake from fury.

"And what are you going to do about it?" I asked with extreme curiosity.

I do wonder what gods will do without their power? It was a natural curiosity. Humans are born without any power. So, we build up ours. What about gods, what will they do when they lose their powers? 

"You...YOU...YOU!" She naturally lunged forward…

Trying to punch me… but the thing was… Freedom scale mail makes me naturally extremely tall… nearly three metres…

So I caught her first with natural ease…

She tried to force herself to push me but she needed a lot of force to even move me. And at this point she was just around natural human strength…

"If you're going to do this then just don't," I said with a bored and disappointed sigh. I guess I expected too much.

"Grrr… I will make you pay!"

"I will spank you for being naughty you know?" I said in a bored and slightly amused tone. Yes, I was feeling quite sadistic towards her, I mean she is a natural man-hater. And I just have this natural urge to do things.

"What!? You dare?" She asked with wide eyes and disbelief.

"You want to test this theory?" I said with a raised eyebrow as I started lifting her by her hand.

"I am an Olympian Goddess! You can't do this kind of thing!" She said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

"You wanted to kill less than 5 minutes ago. Not only was I assaulted by a whole group of feminists but two of them were bonafide Goddesses. So, tell me what should I do? Oh, I know… I should wrap you all up nicely and send it as a post to Olympus… I do wonder what kind of reaction the rest of your council will think?" I said to her with a bright smile.

"...You...Do you want an apology?" She asked that after having a realising look.

"Hmm… I want something else." I asked her as I inspected her, closely, giving her some wrong ideas.

She paled hearing that. 

"I will kill myself if you dare take my body!" She said with a fierce look.

"Your body? Oh, you are quite a pervert if you are already thinking in that direction. But, no. While you are beautiful I have no interest in you." I said while shaking my head. I already have Serafall and Grayfia. While adding another Silver hair would be… Interesting. especially in a maid uniform...

Artemis started blushing from embarrassment as she didn't know where to look. I can assume normally she would have either killed the one responsible or turned them into an animal.

"T-Then what do you want?" She asked after some uncomfortable silence.

Especially since she is hanging in the air…

My other hand went towards her face. Her eyes widened and she was still confused but eventually, she realised what I just did.

Seeing some strands of her hair being pulled out like this, she had a weird look on her face. She has no idea how to act in this situation…

Eventually, I got her hair and lowered her down.

"You...what are going to do with my hair?" She asked, a bit worried.

"Since I already know about Greek God's energy. I want to see more." I said while storing the hair away and putting my helmet back on.

"(Whereas you are a huntress. I am an engineer and an inventor. I make things. And maybe I will create something interesting by unlocking things from your hair.

Besides, it's a souvenir that I beat Artemis and her hunt in less than five minutes.)" 

"...You… I will get you back for this! I won't stop until you are under my foot!" Artemis said with a furious look, forgetting something important…

"(Sure…)" 

My hand went on to her nose and squeezed it.

"(Next time maybe you should bring your whole Pantheon with you… I mean that way I will at least have more loot to collect.)" 

She tried to push my hand away with everything she got but it was no use.

Until I moved my hand myself.
